Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Additional Footage; English Subtitles Three possible lives of the same man are portrayed in this study of fate set in late- 20th-century Poland from renowned director Krzysztof Kieslowski. The film is a meditation on the nature of chance and the thin yet intricate web of psychological and physical connections that play a role. Acclaimed director Krzysztof Kieslowski presents this sociopolitical drama about life in modern Poland. The story follows Witek (Boguslaw Linda), whose life is played out in three different variations after an insignificant train encounter. In the first version, Witek catches the train, meets a sincere communist, and becomes a party activist. In the second, he bumps into a guard while trying to catch the train. He is arrested, stands trial, and is sent to an unpaid labor park where he encounters an individual from the opposition and becomes a militant member of their group. In the final strand, he misses the train, meets a fellow student, falls in love, and settles into a calm life as a doctor who wants nothing to do with politics. Kieslowski uses his seemingly fantastic plot device to make his point even more dramatically, showing how thin the line is between each of these characters and their lives. At the same time, he condemns politics by humanizing them and keeping them closely related. A powerful reflection of a country in transition, Kieslowski's BLIND CHANCE is a moving work that enlightens while it entertains. The film, made in 1982, had a delayed release.

Krzysztof Kieslowski presents this initially comic yet ultimately moving drama about finding one's calling in life. Filip Mosz (Jerzy Stuhr), a Polish factory worker, purchases an eight-millimeter movie camera to record his baby daughter's first few years of life. Looking for other things to do with his new toy, Filip makes a rather shoddy documentary about his workplace and then submits the film to a local festival. Surprisingly, his amateur movie garners an award, and this small taste of success sends Filip into a moviemaking frenzy. Committing himself to a new life as a documentary filmmaker, he shoots footage of nearly everything he encounters, but his zeal to record all that he sees soon runs him afoul of government officials who ...

Based on actual diary accounts of several teenagers following the L.A. riots, FREEDOM WRITERS is the story of an idealistic teacher's attempts to make a difference in the lives of her at-risk students. Located in gang-ravaged Long Beach, California, Woodrow Wilson High is a hotbed of violence due to a voluntary integration program which brings Black, Latino, Asian, and White students together. Rather than having the desired effect of creating healthy diversity, this program breeds constant war between all parties involved, the result being daily gun shots, constant racial slurs, and gang violence.
Played largely by young unknowns, the freshman class in question is both naïve and wise beyond its years. While never having heard of the Holocaust, these kids are well-versed in the pain of poverty, the legal system, and death. Despite being up against unthinkable violence, devoted first-time teacher Erin Gruwell (Hillary Swank) never gives up, slowly bonding with her class of at-first unreachable pupils, breaking down their tough exteriors and getting at the real people beneath through requiring the students keep ...
